    Abstract Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by poor regulation of the immune response leading to chronic inflammation and multiple organ dysfunction. Glucocorticoid (GC) is currently one of the main treatments. However, a high dose or prolonged use of GC may result in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP). Jiedu Quyu Ziyin decoction (JP) is effective in treating SLE and previous clinical studies have proved that JP can prevent and treat SLE steroid osteoporosis (SLE-GIOP). We aim to examine JPs main mechanism on SLE-GIOP through network pharmacology and molecular docking.
    Methods: TCMSP and TCMID databases were used to screen potential active compounds and targets of JP. The SLE-GIOP targets are collected from GeneCards, OMIM, PharmGkb, TTD, and DrugBank databases. R software was used to obtain the cross-targets of JP and SLE-GIOP and to perform GO and KEGG enrichment analysis. Cytoscape software was used to make the Chinese Medicines-Active Ingredient-Intersection Targets network diagram. STRING database construct protein-protein interaction network and obtain the core targets. Auto Dock Tools and Pymol software were used for docking.
    Results: Fifty eight targets overlapped between JP and SLE-GIOP were suggested as potential targets of JP in the treatment of SLE-GIOP. Network topology analysis identified five core targets. GO enrichment analysis was obtained 1,968 items, and the top 10 biological process, closeness centrality, and molecular function were displayed. A total of 154 signaling pathways were obtained by KEGG enrichment analysis, and the top 30 signaling pathways were displayed. JP was well bound by MAPK1, TP53, and MYC according to the molecular docking results.
    Conclusion: We investigated the potential targets and signaling pathways of JP against SLE-GIOP in this study. It shows that JP is most likely to achieve the purpose of treating SLE-GIOP by promoting the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts. A solid theoretical foundation will be provided for the future study of clinical and experimental topics.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Jiedu-Quyu-Ziyin Fang (JQZF) is a new herbal formula improved based on "Sheng Ma Bie Jia Tang" in the Golden Chamber, has been proved to be effective in the treatment of SLE. The ability of JQZF to prevent lymphocyte growth and survival has been demonstrated in earlier investigations. However, the specific mechanism of JQZF on SLE has not been fully investigated.
    Aim of the study: To reveal the potential mechanisms of JQZF inhibiting B cell proliferation and activation in MRL/lpr mice.
    Materials and methods: MRL/lpr mice were treated with low-dose, high-dose JQZF and normal saline for 6 weeks. The effect of JQZF on disease improvement in MRL/lpr mice was studied using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), histopathological staining, serum biochemical parameters and urinary protein levels. The changes of B lymphocyte subsets in the spleen were analyzed by flow cytometry. The contents of ATP and PA in B lymphocytes from the spleens of mice were determined by ATP content assay kit and PA assay kit. Raji cells (a B lymphocyte line) were selected as the cell model in vitro. The effects of JQZF on the proliferation and apoptosis of B cells were detected by flow cytometry and CCK8. The effect of JQZF on the AKT/mTOR/c-Myc signaling pathway in B cells were detected via western blot.
    Results: JQZF, especially at high dose, significantly improved the disease development of MRL/lpr mice. Flow cytometry results showed that JQZF affected the proliferation and activation of B cells. In addition, JQZF inhibited the production of ATP and PA in B lymphocytes. In vitro cell experiments further confirmed that JQZF can inhibit Raji proliferation and promote cell apoptosis through AKT/mTOR/c-Myc signaling pathway.
    Conclusion: JQZF may affect the proliferation and activation of B cells by inhibiting the AKT/mTOR/c-Myc signaling pathway.

    Abstract bjective: To observe the effect of Ziyin Jiedu Yangfeitang combined with GP chemotherapy on tumor markers and sex hormone levels in yin deficiency type advanced lung cancer patients. Methods: A total of 105 patients with advanced lung cancer by Yin deficiency were divided into the observation group (55 cases) and control group (50 cases). The control group was given the standard GP chemotherapy, the observation group was given Ziyin Jiedu Yangfeitang on the basis of the control group. After 2 cycles of chemotherapy, the levels of tumor markers (CEA, CA1125, CYFRA21, NES) and sex hormone (T, E2, FSH, LH) in the two groups were compared. Results: ① After treatment, the level of CA125, CEA, NES and CYFRA21 in both two groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05); CA125, CEA, NES and CYFRA21 in the observation group were (46.45±10.34) U/mL, (10.36±2.03) ng/mL, (17.35±4.56) ng/mL and (2.56±0.31) ng/mL respectively, all were significantly lower than those in the control group after treatment (P<0.05). ② After treatment, the levels of E2 and FSH were significantly decreased while T and LH were significantly increased in the observation group (P<0.05); those indexes had no obvious changes in the control group (P>0.05). E2 and FSH in the observation group were (85.71±33.57) pmol/L and (10.35±3.56) mU/mL, both were significantly lower than that in the control group after treatment; T and LH in the observation group were (12.33±3.62) nmol/L and (4.08±1.66) mU/mL, both were significantly higher than that in the control group after treatment, (P<0.05). Conclusions: Ziyin Jiedu Yangfeitang can inhibit tumor marker expression and regulate endocrine disorder.

    Abstract This paper proposes a two phases-based training method to design the codewords to map the cluster indices of the input feature vectors to the outputs of the new perceptrons with the multi-pulse type activation functions. Our proposed method is applied to classify two types of the tachycardias. First, the total number of the new perceptrons is initialized as the dimensions of the input feature vectors. Next, a set of new perceptrons with each new perceptron having a single pulse type activation function is designed. Then, the new perceptrons with the multi-pulse type activation function are designed based on those new perceptrons with the single pulse type activation function. After that, the codewords are assigned according to the outputs of the new perceptrons with the multi-pulse type activation functions. Finally, a condition on the codewords is checked. The significance of this work is to guarantee to achieve the no classification error efficiently through using more than one new perceptron with the multi-pulse type activation if the feature space can be linearly partitioned into the multiple clusters. The computer numerical simulation results show that our proposed method outperforms the conventional perceptrons with the sign type activation function.

    Abstract Background: We aimed to explore the inter-connection between depression and HRQOL dimensions in cancer patients using a network approach, which might provide new insights for precise interventions to improve cancer patients' overall HRQOL.
    Methods: Between June 1, 2016, and August 31, 2017, a total of 1735 eligible patients with heterogeneous types of cancer were recruited. The Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) were used to measure patients' depression status and HRQOL, respectively. A regularized partial correlation network was established. Central and bridge symptoms/functions were identified using expected influence and bridge expected influence. A directed acyclic graph (DAG) was used to explore the possible causal relationship between depression and HRQOL dimensions.
    Results: In this study, depression and 15 dimensions of the EORTC-QLQ-C30 scale were highly inter-correlated and could be represented as a network. We found that nearly two-thirds of cancer patients experienced various degrees of depression, and depression was consistently the central symptom in the network, in addition to nausea/vomiting, pain, and physical function. DAG and bridge symptoms indicated that depression might influence overall HRQOL in cancer patients mainly through emotional function, pain, physical function, and sleeplessness, particularly in cancer patients with moderate-to-severe depression. The disparity in network structures between mild and moderate-to-severe depression suggested that the relationship between depression and HRQOL dimensions might be bidirectional.
    Conclusion: The prevalence of depression remained high in Chinese patients with cancer, and depression may influence various symptoms and functions within the HRQOL network. Screening and early treatment of depression were warranted to improve the overall HRQOL of cancer patients, in addition to adequate treatment of pain and nausea/vomiting and improvement in physical function.

    Abstract Liquids, functioning as nutrients and energy systems, regulate various functions during storage programs. Microenvironmental viscosity is one of the most important physical parameters associated with the extent of deterioration, and it is crucial to monitor the mutation of viscosity at a molecular level. Herein, we utilized caffeic acid (CaC), a natural product extracted from thistles, as a molecular probe for viscosity sensing. CaC contains phenol hydroxyl (electron-donor) and carboxyl (electron-acceptor) groups, with both moieties connected by conjugated single and double bonds, forming a typical twisted intramolecular charge transfer system. The fluorescent probe CaC, obtained from a natural product without any chemical processing, exhibits high sensitivity (

    Abstract Volatiles are important for plant root stress resistance. The diseases in tea root are serious, causing major losses. The volatile composition in tea root and whether it can resist diseases remain unclear. In this study, the volatile composition in different tea tissues was revealed. The vanillin content was higher in the root (mainly in root cortex) than in aerial parts. The antifungal effects of vanillin on pathogenic fungi in tea root were equal to or greater than those of other metabolites.
